## **Trustees** 

Trustees are initially appointed for a period of 3 years. In the event of a trustee retiring or ceasing to be a trustee, the remaining Trustees must appoint a replacement. 

The Trustees are governed by the Trust Deed as amended. The Trustees have reviewed and considered the major risks to the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Public Benefit Disclosure 2022/23** 

The Trust, which is unincorporated, aims to: 

- Protect local people and property from crime 

- Reduce anti-social behaviour 

- Educate young people on the dangers of drug, alcohol and solvent abuse 

- Increase community safety for all but especially the young, vulnerable and elderly 

- Divert young people away from crime and anti-social behaviour, encouraging their growth into responsible young adults 

- Build good community relations 

The Trust has continued to fulfil its aims of supporting community-based initiatives with grant programmes, Road Safety Schemes and our Be Home Safe Scheme that has both reduced crime and the fear of crime. 

The Trustees have taken full regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and by the details contained in the Annual Report are confident that the charity has fulfilled its obligations in regard to its published aims. Our Be Home Safe Scheme is now regarded as a fundamental part of the Trust’s activities and has now reached the stage where it is an essential part of the service offered to elderly victims of crime. Sadly, austerity measures have resulted in a reduction in this service, although we and our partners are committed to ensuring that the best possible service continues to be delivered to those most in need. 

All grants made to local community groups are mainly linked with a member of the police force, be they an officer or a member of police staff. The aim being that these grants act to improve the liaison between the community and the police. 

## **Grants** 

The Trustees meet quarterly to consider the business of the Trust and approve grants in accordance with the Trust’s aims and objectives. 

Grants in support of major projects are routinely reviewed and awarded by the Trustees at the commencement of each financial year at their April meeting. 

All other grants are considered on their merit, having met the criteria for a grant as set out in the Trust’s aims and objectives.

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Be Home Safe Scheme** 

The Be Home Safe Scheme is funded by a partnership involving the Constabulary and the Police Community Trust and is a target hardening service operating within each local policing area. 

The scheme was introduced in 1999 in an effort to help reduce the fear of crime among the elderly and vulnerable by providing victims of burglary and violence with practical timely and free help when it is most needed. Referrals to the scheme are received from PCSOs, Domestic Violence Advisers, Attending Officers and Investigating Officers. The service is not means tested, however priority will be given to those most in need. 

Trained carpenters visit the homes of people in need to offer advice on security issues and where necessary, fit locks, bolts, chains and viewers free of charge to make homes more secure. To date Be Home Safe carpenters have visited thousands of homes in the Avon and Somerset Constabulary area whose occupants have been victims of crime and violence, including victims of domestic and racial violence. Many of these people had been burgled or attacked on several occasions prior to the visit by the Be Home Safe carpenters, but very few have become repeat victims. 

The Police Community Trust contributes towards the cost of supplying locks and security equipment to target the most vulnerable homes, ensuring the householder feels safe and enjoys an increased level of security. 

## **Life Education Centre Bristol and Wessex** 

Supported by the Trust as a major project since 2007 Life Education is a community-based health and drug education charity, run by volunteers and staffed by professional educators. They visit primary schools with a purpose-built mobile classroom with specialist teaching aids to deliver their unique programmes. All the children are seen, class-by-class for age appropriate sessions. 

The Life Education visit boosts the statutory part of the school curriculum that covers health education and related areas. Children who go through their programme know more about what is good and bad for their body and mind. They better understand the effects on the body of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. They learn practical, self-assertiveness skills to help them avoid risk-taking experimentation even if that’s what their friends want them to do. 

Extensive research in the field of normative education shows that children (and adults) tend to overestimate the amount of risky behaviour that their peers are engaged in, such as drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes regularly. A key role of Life Education with children in Years 5 and 6 is to explore these normative beliefs, challenge misperceptions and help them understand why they occur. This, in turn, promotes the critical thinking skills needed to make choices based on fact rather than false beliefs. 

Life Education staff see nearly a million children a year across the country. Bristol and Wessex areas visit over 200 schools and see many primary school children every year. Outstanding evaluations are received from heads, teachers and children. 

All schools make a payment for the visit that covers about 75% of costs. Many schools get help from parents or from local donors. The remaining 25% of costs are met through fundraising. Support from the Police Community Trust has helped Life Education give discounts to schools in particular

need and help start the programme in new schools. It has also allowed us to keep the programme running in schools under severe budget pressure. 

The grant awarded in the past school year has helped Life Education visit an increasing number of schools across the Avon and Somerset area. The reasons why each school has been helped are individual, but the overall need is common – without the help of the Police Community Trust, children in many schools, now part of our visit programme, would have missed out. 

In 2009, Somerset came together with Dorset and Devon to form Life Education Wessex with seven mobile classrooms and ten full and part-time Educators. Life Education Wessex is now working with Life Education Bristol to expand the service into North Somerset. The delivery and the funding remains locally based (and ring-fenced), but co-operation between areas is helping control costs and expand service delivery. 

## **Wheels Project** 

For over 30 years the Wheels  Project has played a significant  role in providing  training  and counselling in employment, road safety and crime reduction. The Wheels Project is Registered Charity established since 1979 as an Alternative Education Provision for 15-24 year olds who need support in developing vocational and social skills to enable them to re engage with education, employment and their communities. 

Since 2000 the Wheels Project has run a Community Vehicle Programme which involves working with groups of young people who have been identified by local practitioners such as youth leaders, school teachers and police officers, as having emotional and behaviour difficulties. Some of these groups  are  tasked  with  identifying  a  suitable  vehicle  that  they  can  renovate  and  gift  to  an appropriate community group that may be based locally, nationally or internationally. 

## **Road Safety Grants – Lifeskills** 

Lifeskills opened in January 2000. Since then over 175,000 people have received training and Lifeskills has gained a solid reputation as a Centre of Excellence for the delivery of safety education and training. Around 13,000 people now receive training in the Centre every year. 

Accidents kill about 14,000 people a year across the UK and seriously injure more than 700,000 a year in England alone. Lifeskills offers an exciting and memorable environment in which to learn. By taking part in activities on our realistic scenarios, which include houses, a road, shop, dark alleyway, a river and a railway line, visitors can actually experience difficult or dangerous situations in a safe environment and learn how to deal with them. 

## **Financial review** 

Income for the year was £32,052 (2021/22 £28,918) and expenditure was £166,988 (2021/22 £114,141)

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trust will maintain a minimum of £10,000 in Unrestricted Funds to meet day to day costs in the short term. At the year-end, the balance on Unrestricted Funds was £22,406 (2021/22 £66,020).

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Avon and Somerset Police Community Trust** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 14. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns, other than the matter set out below, and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of preparation of accounts** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2019. 

The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **Grants and donations payable** 

Grants are included in the period in which they are approved and committed for payment. 

## **Support costs** 

8 



Where support costs need apportioning they are allocated to expenditure of each fund in proportion to the respective grant funding cost. Governance costs are included within support costs. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Unrestricted General Funds** 

The general unrestricted funds are donations and any other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

Restricted funds include donations and any other income received or generated for the objects of the charity restricted geographically to use in a particular area. All other funds are restricted to a specific purpose within the objects of the charity. 

## **Donated goods, facilities and services** 

The value of professional services provided by other agencies are recognised in income on the basis of the gift to the charity when received and it can be measured reliably. The equivalent amount is recognised as an expense. 

Where facilities or goods are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from suppliers, the contributions are included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution and are recognised in income, with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense. 

In accordance with the charity SORP, the value of services provided by volunteers is not included in the financial statements. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The  charity  only  has  financial  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  kind  that  qualify  as  basic  financial instruments.  Basic  financial  instruments  are  initially  recognised  at  transaction  value  and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Short term liquid investments and cash at bank** 

Short term investments and cash at bank is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes and includes all cash equivalents held in the form of shortterm highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The Be Home Safe Scheme is funded by a partnership involving the Constabulary and the Police Community Trust and is a target hardening service operating within each local policing area and Basic Command Unit across Avon and Somerset. 

The Road Safety fund’s aim is to provide funding to community and voluntary organisations to use to facilitate well targeted community road safety initiatives. 

The Road Safety funds committed spend in the year (and related support costs) exceed the value of the road safety restricted fund balance by £26,150. A transfer of £26,150 has been made from the general fund to clear the shortfall in the fund.
